The gift of asking is
in fact one of life’s fundamental truth. Just as it is written “Ask and you
shall receive”, that has been around for a long period of time. Children are
the masters when it comes to asking and they use this formula until they get
what they want.
Often times as gown up
adults, we tend to lose our ability to ask and we sum up all kinds of excuses
and reasons of being rejected anytime we ask. Off course children are never
fashioned like this. They have the mind set of receiving anything they ask for,
be it a chocolate ice cream cone or an expensive toy.
It is interesting to
note that the world only responds to those who ask. To move closer to what you
so desire and want, you have to keep on asking.
Here is an important
acronym to remind us about asking;-
A -- Always
S – Seeking
K – Knowledge
A worthy note to
imprint in our minds forever is “The Use of Knowledge is Power.”
It is believe we
receive all kinds of information, ideas, strategies, influential people and
even money each time we ask. Obviously the rewards attached when we ask are
substantial.
Listed below are three
(3) essential reasons why people fail to ask when the opportunity arises.
1)
They possess a belief system that says it’s
wrong to ask.
2)
Low self- esteem / confidence
3)
They fear the possibility of being
rejected.
Our Belief System;- Just as the Bible says, “Ask and you shall
receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be open unto you.” This statement alone is far more powerful than
any odd belief system we may have inherited in the past as a growing up child.
It is necessary we constantly analyze certain limiting belief system, if we
really want to experience the rewards of asking. It is important for us to realize
that there are other ways to view life and circumstances.
Low Self Esteem;- When we suffer from
lack of confidence, it hinders our willingness to ask. Take a bold forward.
Trust yourself. The worst thing that can happen to anyone who ask is to get a “No” for an answer.
The Fear Of Rejection;- Certainly, so many people cannot control
their emotion when they are being rejected. Even when the word ‘No’ is
mentioned to them, it was never meant as a personal turn down.
If you experience the
three (3) essential reasons above, all you have to do is to take a leap of
faith. Eradicate all negative old beliefs, feel good about yourself and
understand that life is not always perfect. You win some, you lose some.
